The present invention relates to a multi-object audio encoding and decoding apparatus, and more particularly, to a multi-object audio encoding and decoding apparatus which may support a post downmix signal, inputted from an outside, and efficiently represent a downmix information parameter associated with a relationship between a general downmix signal and the post downmix signal.
Currently, an object-based audio encoding technology that may efficiently compress an audio object signal is the focus of attention. A quantization/dequantization scheme of a parameter for supporting an arbitrary downmix signal of an existing Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Surround technology may extract a Channel Level Difference (CLD) parameter between an arbitrary downmix signal and a downmix signal of an encoder. Also, the quantization/dequantization scheme may perform quantization/dequantization using a CLD quantization table symmetrically designed based on 0 dB in an MPEG Surround scheme.
A mastering downmix signal may be generated when a plurality of instruments/tracks are mixed as a stereo signal, are amplified to have a maximum dynamic range that a Compact Disc (CD) may represent, and are converted by an equalizer, and the like. Accordingly, a mastering downmix signal may be different from a stereo mixing signal.
When an arbitrary downmix processing technology of an MPEG Surround scheme is applied to a multi-object audio encoder to support a mastering downmix signal, a CLD between a downmix signal and a mastering downmix signal may be asymmetrically extracted due to a downmix gain of each object. Here, the CLD may be obtained by multiplying each of the objects with the downmix gain. Accordingly, only one side of an existing CLD quantization table may be used, and thus a quantization error occurring during a quantization/dequantization of a CLD parameter may be significant.
Accordingly, a method of efficiently encoding/decoding an audio object is required.
An aspect of the present invention provides a multi-object audio encoding and decoding apparatus which supports a post downmix signal.

The parameter determination unit may include: a power offset calculation unit to scale the post downmix signal as a predetermined value to enable an average power of the post downmix signal in a particular frame to be identical to an average power of the downmix signal; and a parameter extraction unit to extract the downmix information parameter from the scaled post downmix signal in the predetermined frame.
The parameter determination unit may determine the PDG which is downmix parameter information to compensate for a difference between the downmix signal and the post downmix signal, and the bitstream generation unit may transmit the object bitstream including the PDG
The parameter determination unit may generate a residual signal corresponding to the difference between the downmix signal and the post downmix signal, and the bitstream generation unit may transmit the object bitstream including the residual signal. The difference between the downmix signal and the post downmix signal may be compensated for by applying the post downmix gain.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a multi-object audio decoding apparatus which decodes a multi-object audio using a post downmix signal inputted from an outside.
The multi-object audio decoding apparatus may include: a bitstream processing unit to extract a downmix information parameter and object information from an object bitstream; a downmix signal generation unit to adjust the post downmix signal based on the downmix information parameter and generate a downmix signal; and a decoding unit to decode the downmix signal using the object information and generate an object signal.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a multi-object audio encoding and decoding apparatus which supports a post downmix signal.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a multi-object audio encoding and decoding apparatus which may enable an asymmetrically extracted downmix information parameter to be evenly and symmetrically distributed with respect to 0 dB, based on a downmix gain which is multiplied with each object, may perform quantization and dequantization, and thereby may reduce a quantization error.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a multi-object audio encoding and decoding apparatus which may adjust a post downmix signal to be similar to a downmix signal generated during an encoding operation using a downmix information parameter, and thereby may reduce sound degradation.
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. The embodiments are described below in order to explain the present invention by referring to the figures.
The multi-object audio encoding apparatus 100 may encode a multi-object audio signal using a post downmix signal inputted from an outside. The multi-object audio encoding apparatus 100 may generate a downmix signal and object information using input object signals 101. In this instance, the object information may indicate spatial cue parameters predicted from the input object signals 101.
Also, the multi-object audio encoding apparatus 100 may analyze a downmix signal and an additionally inputted post downmix signal 102, and thereby may generate a downmix information parameter to adjust the post downmix signal 102 to be similar to the downmix signal. The downmix signal may be generated when encoding is performed. The multi-object audio encoding apparatus 100 may generate an object bitstream 104 using the downmix information parameter and the object information. Also, the inputted post downmix signal 102 may be directly outputted as a post downmix signal 103 without a particular process for replay.
In this instance, the downmix information parameter may be quantized/dequantized using a Channel Level Difference (CLD) quantization table by extracting a CLD parameter between the downmix signal and the post downmix signal 102. The CLD quantization table may be symmetrically designed with respect to a predetermined center. For example, the multi-object audio encoding apparatus 100 may enable a CLD parameter, asymmetrically extracted, to be symmetrical with respect to a predetermined center, based on a downmix gain applied to each object signal. According to the present invention, an object signal may be referred to as an object.
Referring to
The object information extraction and downmix generation unit 201 may generate object information and a downmix signal from the input object signals 101.
The parameter determination unit 202 may determine a downmix information parameter by analyzing the extracted downmix signal and the post downmix signal 102. The parameter determination unit 202 may calculate a signal strength difference between the downmix signal and the post downmix signal 102 to determine the downmix information parameter. Also, the inputted post downmix signal 102 may be directly outputted as a post downmix signal 103 without a particular process for replay.
For example, the parameter determination unit 202 may determine a Post Downmix Gain (PDG) as the downmix information parameter. The PDG may be evenly and symmetrically distributed by adjusting the post downmix signal 102 to be maximally similar to the downmix signal. Specifically, the parameter determination unit 202 may determine a downmix information parameter, asymmetrically extracted, to be evenly and symmetrically distributed with respect to 0 dB based on a downmix gain. Here, the downmix information parameter may be the PDG, and the downmix gain may be multiplied with each object. Subsequently, the PDG may be quantized by a quantization table identical to a CLD.
When the post downmix signal 102 is decoded by adjusting the post downmix signal to be similar to the downmix signal generated during an encoding operation, a sound quality may be significantly degraded than when decoding is performed directly using the downmix signal. Accordingly, the downmix information parameter used to adjust the post downmix signal 102 is to be efficiently extracted to reduce sound degradation. The downmix information parameter may be a parameter such as a CLD used as an Arbitrary Downmix Gain (ADG) of a Moving Picture Experts Group Surround (MPEG Surround) scheme.
The CLD parameter may be quantized for transmission, and may be symmetrical with respect to 0 dB, and thereby may reduce a quantization error and reduce sound degradation caused by the post downmix signal.
The bitstream generation unit 203 may combine the object information and the downmix information parameter, and generate an object bitstream.
Referring to
The bitstream processing unit 302 may extract a downmix information parameter 308 and object information 309 from an object bitstream 306 transmitted from a multi-object audio encoding apparatus. Subsequently, the downmix signal generation unit 301 may adjust the post downmix signal 305 based on the downmix information parameter 308 and generate a downmix signal 307. In this instance, the downmix information parameter 308 may compensate for a signal strength difference between the downmix signal 307 and the post downmix signal 305.
The decoding unit 303 may decode the downmix signal 307 using the object information 309 and generate an object signal 310. The rendering unit 304 may perform rendering with respect to the generated object signal 310 using user control information 311 and generate a reproducible output signal 312. In this instance, the user control information 311 may indicate a rendering matrix or information required to generate an output signal by mixing restored object signals.
Referring to
The bitstream processing unit 402 may extract a downmix information parameter 409 and object information 410 from an object bitstream 407. The downmix signal generation unit 410 may generate a downmix signal 408 using the downmix information parameter 409 and a post downmix signal 406. The post downmix signal 406 may be directly outputted for replay.
The transcoding unit 404 may perform transcoding with respect to the downmix signal 408 using the object information 410 and user control information 412. Subsequently, the downmix signal preprocessing unit 403 may preprocess the downmix signal 408 using a result of the transcoding. The MPEG Surround decoding unit 405 may perform MPEG Surround decoding using an MPEG Surround bitstream 413 and the preprocessed downmix signal 411. The MPEG Surround bitstream 413 may be the result of the transcoding. The multi-object audio decoding apparatus 400 may output an output signal 414 through an MPEG Surround decoding.
When decoding is performed by adjusting the post downmix signal to be similar to a downmix signal, a sound quality may be more significantly degraded than when decoding is performed by directly using the downmix signal generated during encoding. Accordingly, the post downmix signal is to be adjusted to be maximally similar to the original downmix signal to reduce the sound degradation. For this, a downmix information parameter used to adjust the post downmix signal is to be efficiently extracted and represented.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a signal strength difference between the downmix signal and the post downmix signal may be used as the downmix information parameter. A CLD used as an ADG of an MPEG Surround scheme may be the downmix information parameter.
The downmix information parameter may be quantized by a CLD quantization table as shown in Table 1.

Accordingly, when the downmix information parameter is symmetrically distributed with respect to 0 dB, a quantization error of the downmix information parameter may be reduced, and the sound degradation caused by the post downmix signal may be reduced.
However, a downmix information parameter associated with a post downmix signal and a downmix signal, generated in a general multi-object audio encoder, may be asymmetrically distributed due to a downmix gain for each object of a mixing matrix for the downmix signal generation. For example, when an original gain of each of the objects is 1, a downmix gain less than 1 may be multiplied with each of the objects to prevent distortion of a downmix signal due to clipping. Accordingly, the generated downmix signal may have a same small power as the downmix gain in comparison to the post downmix signal. In this instance, when the signal strength difference between the downmix signal and the post downmix signal is measured, a center of a distribution may not be located in 0 dB.
When the downmix information parameter is quantized as described above, the quantization error may be increased since only one side of the CLD quantization table shown above may be used. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the multi-object audio encoding apparatus may enable the center of the distribution of the parameter, extracted by compensating for the downmix information parameter, to be located adjacent to 0 dB, and perform quantization, which is described below.
A CLD, that is, a downmix information parameter between a post downmix signal, inputted from an outside, and a downmix signal, generated based on a mixing matrix of a channel X, in a particular frame/parameter band may be given by,
where n and k may denote a frame and a parameter band, respectively. Pm and Pd may denote a power of the post downmix signal and a power of the downmix signal, respectively. When a downmix gain for each object of a mixing matrix to generates the downmix signal of the channel X is GX1, GX2, . . . GXN, a CLD compensation value to compensate for a center of a distribution of the extracted CLD to be 0, may be given by,
where N may denote a total number of inputted objects. The downmix gain for each of the objects of the mixing matrix may be identical in all frames/parameter bands, the CLD compensation value of Equation 2 may be a constant. Accordingly, a compensated CLD may be obtained by subtracting the CLD compensation value of Equation 2 from the downmix information parameter of Equation 1, which is given according to Equation 3 as below.
CLDX,m(n,k)=CLDX(n,k)−CLDX,c [Equation 3]
The compensated CLD may be quantized according to Table 1, and transmitted to a multi-object audio decoding apparatus. Also, a statistical distribution of the compensated CLD may be located around 0 dB in comparison to a general CLD, that is, a characteristic of a Laplacian distribution as opposed to a Gaussian distribution is shown. Accordingly, a quantization table, where a range from −10 dB to +10 dB is divided more closely, as opposed to the quantization table of Table 1 may be applied to reduce the quantization error.
The multi-object audio encoding apparatus may calculate a downmix gain (DMG) and a Downmix Channel Level Difference (DCLD) according to Equations 4, 5, and 6 given as below, and may transmit the DMG and the DCLD to the multi-object audio decoding apparatus. The DMG may indicate a mixing amount of each of the objects. Specifically, both mono downmix signal and stereo downmix signal may be used.
DMGi=20 log10 Gi [Equation 4]
where i=1, 2, 3, . . . N (mono downmix).
DMGi=10 log10 (G1i2+G2i2) [Equation 5]
where i=1, 2, 3, . . . N (stereo downmix).
where i=1, 2, 3, . . . N.
Equation 4 may be used to calculate the downmix gain when the downmix signal is the mono downmix signal, and Equation 5 may be used to calculate the downmix gain when the downmix signal is the stereo downmix signal. Equation 6 may be used to calculate a degree each of the objects contributes to a left and right channel of the downmix signal. Here, G1i, and G2i, may denote the left channel and the right channel, respectively.
When supporting the post downmix signal according to an embodiment of the present invention, the mono downmix signal may not be used, and thus Equation 5 and Equation 6 may be applied. A compensation value like Equation 2 is to be calculated using Equation 5 and Equation 6 to restore the downmix information parameter using the transmitted compensated CLD and the downmix gain obtained using Equation 5 and Equation 6. A downmix gain for each of the objects with respect to the left channel and the right channel may be calculated using Equation 5 and Equation 6, which are given by,
where i=1, 2, 3 . . . , N
The CLD compensation value may be calculated in a same way as Equation 2 using the calculated downmix gain for each of the objects, which is given by,
The multi-object audio decoding apparatus may restore the downmix information parameter using the calculated CLD compensation value and a dequantization value of the compensated CLD, which is given by,
C{circumflex over (L)}DX,m(n,k)=C{circumflex over (L)}DX(n,k)+C{circumflex over (L)}DX,c [Equation 9]
A quantization error of the restored downmix information parameter may be reduced in comparison to a parameter restored through a general quantization process. Accordingly, sound degradation may be reduced.
An original downmix signal may be most significantly transformed during a level control process for each band through an equalizer. When an ADG of the MPEG Surround uses a CLD as a parameter, the CLD value may be processed as 20 bands or 28 bands, and the equalizer may use a variety of combinations such as 24 bands, 36 bands, and the like. A parameter band extracting the downmix information parameter may be set and processed as an equalizer band as opposed to a CLD parameter band, and thus an error of a resolution difference and difference between two bands may be reduced.
A downmix information parameter analysis band may be as below.

When a value of ‘bsMDProcessingBand’ is greater than 1, the downmix information parameter may be extracted as a separately defined band used by a general equalizer.
The operation of compensating for the CLD of
To process the post downmix signal, the multi-object audio encoding apparatus may perform a DMG/CLD calculation 501 using a mixing matrix 509 according to Equation 2. Also, the multi-object audio encoding apparatus may quantize the DMG/CLD through a DMG/CLD quantization 502, dequantize the DMG/CLD through a DMG/CLD dequantization 503, and perform a mixing matrix calculation 504. The multi-object audio encoding apparatus may perform a CLD compensation value calculation 505 using a mixing matrix, and thereby may reduce an error of the CLD.
Also, the multi-object audio encoding apparatus may perform a CLD calculation 506 using a post downmix signal 511. The multi-object audio encoding apparatus may perform a CLD quantization 508 using the CLD compensation value 507 calculated through the CLD compensation value calculation 505. Accordingly, a quantized compensated CLD 512 may be generated.
A multi-object audio decoding apparatus may perform a DMG/CLD dequantization 601 using a quantized DMG/CLD 607. The multi-object audio decoding apparatus may perform a mixing matrix calculation 602 using the dequantized DMG/CLD, and perform a CLD compensation value calculation 603. The multi-object audio decoding apparatus may perform a dequantization 604 of a compensated CLD using a quantized compensated CLD 608. Also, the multi-object audio decoding apparatus may perform a post downmix compensation 606 using the dequantized compensated CLD and the CLD compensation value 605 calculated through the CLD compensation value calculation 603. A post downmix signal may be applied to the post downmix compensation 606. Accordingly, a mixing downmix 609 may be generated.
Referring to
The power offset calculation unit 701 may scale the post downmix signal as a predetermined value to enable an average power of a post downmix signal 703 in a particular frame to be identical to an average power of a downmix signal 704. In general, since the post downmix signal 703 has a greater power than a downmix signal generated during an encoding operation, the power offset calculation unit 701 may adjust the power of the post downmix signal 703 and the downmix signal 704 through scaling.
The parameter extraction unit 702 may extract a downmix information parameter 706 from the scaled post downmix signal 705 in the particular frame. The post downmix signal 703 may be used to determine the downmix information parameter 706, or a post downmix signal 707 may be directly outputted without a particular process.
That is, the parameter determination unit 700 may calculate a signal strength difference between the downmix signal 704 and the post downmix signal 705 to determine the downmix information parameter 706. Specifically, the parameter determination unit 700 may determine a PDG as the downmix information parameter 706. The PDG may be evenly and symmetrically distributed by adjusting the post downmix signal 705 to be maximally similar to the downmix signal 704.
Referring to
The power offset compensation unit 801 may scale a post downmix signal 803 using a power offset value extracted from a downmix information parameter 804. The power offset value may be included in the downmix information parameter 804, and may or may not be transmitted, as necessary.
The downmix signal adjusting unit 802 may convert the scaled post downmix signal 805 into a downmix signal 806.
A syntax as shown in Table 3 through Table 7 may be added to apply a downmix information parameter to support the post downmix signal.

Referring to
When the spatial analysis 904 is performed with respect to the audio object (1) 907, the audio object (2) 908, and the audio object (3) 909, a standard spatial parameter 912 and a Post Downmix Gain(PDG) 913 may be generated. An SAOC bitstream 914 may be generated using the generated standard spatial parameter 912 and PDG 913.
The multi-object audio encoding apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention may generate the PDG to process a downmix signal and the post downmix signals 910 and 911, for example, a mastering downmix signal. The PDG may be a downmix information parameter to compensate for a difference between the downmix signal and the post downmix signal, and may be included in the SAOC bitstream 914. In this instance, a structure of the PDG may be basically identical to an ADG of the MPEG Surround scheme.
Accordingly, the multi-object audio decoding apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention may compensate for the downmix signal using the PDG and the post downmix signal. In this instance, the PDG may be quantized using a quantization table identical to a CLD of the MPEG Surround scheme.
A result of comparing the PDG with other spatial parameters such as OLD, NRG, IOC, DMG, and DCLD, is shown in Table 28 below. The PDG may be dequantized using a CLD quantization table of the MPEG Surround scheme.

The post downmix signal may be compensated for using a dequantized PDG, which is described below in detail.
In the post downmix signal compensation, a compensated downmix signal may be generated by multiplying a mixing matrix with an inputted downmix signal. In this instance, when a value of bsPostDownmix in a Syntax of SAOCSpecificConfig( )is 0, the post downmix signal compensation may not be performed. When the value is 1, the post downmix signal compensation may be performed. That is, when the value is 0, the inputted downmix signal may be directly outputted with a particular process. When a mixing matrix is a mono downmix, the mixing matrix may be represented as Equation 10 given as below. When the mixing matrix is a stereo downmix, the mixing matrix may be represented as Equation 11 given as below.
When the value of bsPostDownmix is 1, the inputted downmix signal may be compensated through the dequantized PDG. When the mixing matrix is the mono downmix, the mixing matrix may be defined as,
where w1l,m may be calculated using the dequantized PDG, and be represented as,
w1l,m=DPDG(0,l,m), 0≤m<Mproc, 0≤l<L [Equation 13]
When the mixing matrix is the stereo downmix, the mixing matrix may be defined as,
where wxl,m may be calculated using the dequantized PDG, and be represented as,
wXl,m=DPDG(X,l,m), 0≤X<2, 0≤m<Mproc, 0≤l<L [Equation 15]
Also, syntaxes to transmit the PDG in a bitstream are shown in Table 29 and Table 30. Table 29 and Table 30 show a PDG when a residual coding is not applied to completely restore the post downmix sign, in comparison to the PDG represented in Table 23 through Table 27.

A performance of supporting the post downmix signal using the PDG may be improved by residual coding. That is, when the post downmix signal is compensated for using the PDG for decoding, a sound quality may be degraded due to a difference between an original downmix signal and the compensated post downmix signal, as compared to when the downmix signal is directly used.
To overcome the above-described disadvantage, a residual signal may be extracted, encoded, and transmitted from the multi-object audio encoding apparatus. The residual signal may indicate the difference between the downmix signal and the compensated post downmix signal. The multi-object audio decoding apparatus may decode the residual signal, and add the residual signal to the compensated post downmix signal to adjust the residual signal to be similar to the original downmix signal. Accordingly, the sound degradation may be reduced.
Also, the residual signal may be extracted from an entire frequency band. However, since a bit rate may significantly increase, the residual signal may be transmitted in only a frequency band that practically affects the sound quality. That is, when sound degradation occurs due to an object having only low frequency components, for example, a bass, the multi-object audio encoding apparatus may extract the residual signal in a low frequency band and compensate for the sound degradation.
In general, since sound degradation in a low frequency band may be compensated for based on a recognition nature of a human, the residual signal may be extracted from a low frequency band and transmitted. When the residual signal is used, the multi-object audio encoding apparatus may add a same amount of a residual signal, determined using a syntax table shown as below, as a frequency band, to the post downmix signal compensated for according to Equation 9 through Equation 14.
